Talk:Track Down

All lies, damned lies

"All lies, damned lies". Really? I'm reading "The Art of Intrusion" at this moment, and Mitnick does say that the movie and book were based on hype and often not true to the facts of his case. However, it sounds to me as if someone had their tongue in their cheek on this one. This quote sounds much more like it came from David Farragut, Steve Ballmer, or Opus Croakus than Mr. Mitnick.

Why is the article nammed Takedown? the Released name of the DVD is Track Down Sephiroth storm (talk) 06:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Since there have been no objections, I'm moving it to Track Down. There's nothing else with that title, so no need for the "(film)" bit.--Aervanath (talk) 13:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank You. Sephiroth storm (talk) 23:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hackers 2?

There's a redirect for "Hackers 2" to this page. Why? I assume it's been called that?--Cyberman TM (talk) 11:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, i believe so. There was a movie that was not affiliated with "Hackers" that was called "Hackers 2" by the underground, I believe this was it. Sephiroth storm (talk) 12:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Track Down → Takedown —

None of the two references or three external links in this article even mention the name "Track Down". Therefore I think the title should be restored to what is clearly the main name, "Takedown". A note should be added that the DVD was released as "Track Down" (including the link above as a source), and that's all. Likewise, the fact that this film has been called "hackers 2" (as noted in the section below), should be added to this article, together with a source. Debresser (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I have to disagree. If the movie is released as Trackdown, it is likely the common name. I have never heard of the movie being called Takedown. There are plenty of references referring to the movie as Track Down. I will add them to the article, which is lacking inline citations. A google search for "Track Down movie" brings a full page of links to the appropriate movies. A google search for "Takedown movie" brings 3-4 links to the appropriate movie, most going to a 1917 movie(First page search only). The hackers 2 name was in the article previously, but I am not aware of a reliable source for this.

That you have never heard of it is not proof of anything. No personal insult intended. My argument was based on all 5 sources mentioned in the article. Thank you for adding a few to support the name "Track Down". I still have a problem with saying that the film was released in the US and outside it under different names. This is unsourced and original research. Perhaps it was the DVD version that was first named "Track Down"? I have no way of verifying the actual facts, but I think that is a realistic possibility. Anyway, the matter needs looking into. Debresser (talk) 10:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea where the name Takedown came from. Do you have a link to the interwiki? If the movie has various titles in different countries, we need to use the most common english title, per WP:COMMONNAME. At this point I still see that as Track Down. Sephiroth storm (talk) 18:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at the IMDb page. What do you make of the beginning of the "Additional Details" section? Also note that IMDb uses "Takedown". Debresser (talk) 18:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

It appears that while the movie was in production it was called Takedown, during this time, people heard about the movie and started calling it Hackers 2. When it was released in the US it was named Track Down. Has it been released anywhere else under Takedown? Sephiroth storm (talk) 21:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

All interwikis call it Takedown, because, as you can see in the link on that IMDb page, that was the international name indeed. I think I am now convinced that the main name is Track Down, and I'll edit the article a little to reflect the things we found. Thank you for your part in this discussion. Debresser (talk) 23:26, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

BTW, I just saw the movie. Under the name "Takedown". Debresser (talk) 01:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

On DVD? If you were watching online, it could be under either one. but either way, we would need a source. Sephiroth storm (talk) 05:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

No, a torrent. Debresser (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, a torrent can be named anything. We can't use it as a source. Sephiroth storm (talk) 23:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

You misunderstood me. The film itself showed its title as Takedown. Debresser (talk) 00:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Like in the movie? Like in the opening credits? Can you provide me with a link to the download source? Again, we cant use it as a source, but I am interested in looking at the torrent listing. It's possible the torrent was ripped from a out of US copy, or indeed from a pre-release version of the film. I saw one of Ep3 RoS, but that one was obviously pre-release. EDIT: here are links to listings, including one, that shows the movie being released as takedown in italy, maybe. But again, nothing verifiable. [1] Sephiroth storm (talk) 00:34, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, in the opening credits. Let me try and find them for you (I deleted them already). Debresser (talk) 00:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

It was likely [2]. Debresser (talk) 01:00, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Didn't you see the refernce to IMDb, which states the title for many countries, including quite a few as Takedown? Debresser (talk) 01:03, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes. To my knowledge however, iMDB is not a Reliable source, even if it was, we cant figure out what is the common name. IAC, right now I think the right thing to do is leave it as is until we get something concrete. Sephiroth storm (talk) 01:53, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Agree. I was just telling you what I saw. Debresser (talk) 06:56, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

The name in Australia is "Takedown"

Just in case it helps, I just bought a copy of the DVD here in Australia (a legal copy off Blockbuster) and it's called "Takedown" on the disc, the DVD case, and in the movie opening and credits. Released here by Mirimax/Dimension. So the way the article reads right now, "Track Down, also known as Takedown (outside the USA)", seems correct to me. Blucat - David.

Thanks. Debresser (talk) 21:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Requested move 14 January 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. There appears to be a consensus that the page should be titled "Track Down" and not "Takedown", but there's no consensus on whether the page should be disambiguated or not. (non-admin closure) Iffy★Chat -- 15:37, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Track Down → Takedown (2000 film) – This film article was created on August 6, 2006 as Takedown (film). In 2009, following a very brief exchange between two editors ["Article name? (January 2009)"] above, the main title header was moved to Track Down. A substantially longer exchange, between one of those two editors and another editor ["Requested move (December 2009)"] above, was closed by the first editor with the words, "The result of the move request was Do not move" [the now-redlinked redirect Takedown (film) was deleted seven-and-a-half years later]. The article currently has a lengthy hatnote [which would be deleted if the nomination gains support]: "This article is about the 2000 film. For the 1976 film, see Trackdown (film). For the 1979 film, see Take Down (1979 film)", while the film's title on the poster appended to the article as well in references such as IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes or [www.themoviedb.org/movie/10429-takedown/en The Movie Database], appears as "Takedown". The form Track Down comes from the U.S. DVD release title.     Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:10, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

• Comment – I'm effectively neutral on this request. While it's clear that the film's initial title (c.2000) was "Takedown" (the 2004 Variety ref confirms this), and was then "Cybertraque" when released in theaters in France (also c.2000), it is also clear that 1) this was an American film, and 2) the title under which it was released in the United States is "Track Down". (Also note that most of the sources currently used at the article call it "Track Down".) So, while on the one hand I think leaving it at "Track Down" is the better WP:NATURALDIS solution, I also think in this particular case it actually doesn't matter if it's at Track Down or at Takedown (2000 film). Pick or choose... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

• Comment. Upon examination of entry titles at the Trackdown and Takedown disambiguation pages, other suggestions for this article's main title header may include Takedown (film), Track Down (film) [which currently redirects to this film] or Trackdown (2000 film), with Track Down redirecting to Trackdown.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:59, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Track Down (film) would be fine IMO, if it's decided that disambiguation is needed in this case. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support move to Track Down (film) per IJBall. Unless there's a similarly named film, the year is probably unnecessary. SITH (talk) 16:21, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
  • If disambiguation is deemed necessary to distinguish "Track Down" from "Trackdown", then surely it follows that we must also disambiguate by year to distinguish Track Down (film) from Trackdown (film)? PC78 (talk) 19:17, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
• Neutral per IJBall, but if we're going with Track Down I would just as rather leave this article where it is per WP:SMALLDETAILS and WP:NATURALDIS as I don't feel the disambiguation is necessary. For what it's worth there are DVD releases from Germany [3][4] and Italy [5] under the original title Takedown. PC78 (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
